As you already know, sleep is essential to feeling our best! We can't thrive when we are running on fumes. Now, if you've got a newborn, save this step for later. There's just no way to get around less sleep during those first few newborn months! But for the rest of us, it is so important that we get into bed at a good time to train ourselves to get a good night's sleep.
If you've got a smart phone or smart watch, use a bedtime reminder app to train yourself to start going to bed earlier. During COVID 19 quarantines in the spring of 2020, I got into a really bad habit of staying up till 1 a.m. watching Netflix. During the summer, I retrained myself to go to bed around 11 p.m. and the bedtime reminder on my smart watch has helped since then! It's like having a coach on your wrist, one you can't talk back to (wink, wink). Well, you can actually talk back to it, but it doesn't care! LOL
For me, my good bedtime is 10:30 to 11:00 p.m. If I go to bed at that time, I wake up at 7 a.m. feeling great! Pick which time is good for you and add that to your home management binder under your Evening Routine.
